M3setParticle

Modifies the parameters of a HPart3d object.

F _life_

F _rate_

)

Parameters

_session_

3D Session

_part_

Type of particle

_topo_

Represents the topology used for the rendering of each particle of this type.

_mask_

Allows to activate or not the flags defining this type of particle :
PCL_BILLBOARD : the particles are always facing the camera.
PCL_RAINBOW : the color of the particles is randomly attributed based on the table of colors and the color does not change until the particles die.

_life_

Maximum lifespan of a particle

_rate_

Number of particles emitted every 100 frames

_weight_

Mass of a particle

_size_

Particle size

_spin_

Rotation of particle on itself

_polarity_

Polarity of particles of this type, useful with certain effects.

Return value

0 if successful, otherwise nil

Remark

If a parameter (to the exclusion of the session and the particle) is set to nil, the current value is maintained.
